The Whole30's Food Freedom Forever

"Food can play a powerful role in pleasure, health, and celebration--but it can also be a source of remorse and anxiety. In Food Freedom Forever, Melissa Hartwig explores how we can enjoy food, yet feel free from cravings and negative feelings. It's a practical, realistic, compassionate--and even funny--guide to establishing a new relationship with food." --Gretchen Rubin, New York Times best-selling author of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project "Eating clean can be tough, but Melissa makes it easy! Her philosophy truly works, without counting calories or being a slave to the scale. Her program, the Whole30, helped change my own philosophy on food and how I eat. Food Freedom Forever is a must-have for anyone who wants to make changes in their life. . .and make them last." --Molly Sims, model, actress, and lifestyle blogger "I'm a huge fan of Hartwig's Whole30 Program, and Food Freedom Forever picks up where Whole30 leaves off by tackling the mind-body connection as it pertains to your relationship with food.

Food should be a source of sustenance and enjoyment, and Melissa helps bring the enjoyment back by providing tools, tips, and suggestions for creating an extremely personal prescription for healthy eating.

In Food Freedom Forever, Melissa Hartwig delivers a sustainable, healthy diet that will fuel your mind, body, and spirit, and place you in control of your food for life." --Emily Deans, MD, Harvard Medical School "I'm a 'real food' registered dietitian who believes the standard low-fat, high-carb, 'everything in moderation' advice is complete nonsense. Repairing our relationship with food is critical in order to live a happy life, and Melissa's plan in Food Freedom Forever is exactly what does work for my clients. This is no crash diet, and it's way more important than a weight loss plan--it's the beginning of the rest of your life!" --Diana Rodgers, RD, LDN, NTP "Nutritionist Hartwig (The Whole 30) presents dieters with a guide to developing a healthier relationship with food.
